I used one processor of a dual 1GH Mac and got the same answer with the following speed: $Version 4.2 for Mac OS X (June 4, 2002) oldmax = $MaxPrecision 6 1. 10 $MaxPrecision = Infinity Infinity With[{n = 2^26}, Timing[ pd = RealDigits[N[Pi, n + 1], 10, 20, 19 - n]; ]] {28794.1 Second, Null} MaxMemoryUsed[] 512055204 pd {{3, 3, 8, 6, 3, 2, 2, 0, 8, 9, 6, 2, 2, 3, 4, 0, 9, 8, 0, 3}, -67108844} Tom Burton --
